Turnkey Contracting
CRS strive to give each client the best possible service and are able to offer the advantages of a complete “turnkey” package, integrating the civil engineering and building works with the process technology and extending to providing training to clients staff and including, if required, an option of operating and maintaining the completed plant.
As a company with a background strong in process design, process innovation and process legislation, CRS have a full understanding of what the plant is required to do. As a one-stop shop for the construction of the plant this means that CRS are in control of the civil and building works from the beginning.
Unlike most process suppliers, CRS has both the experience and the management capability of taking full responsibility of supplying to the client under one contract, a working plant. CRS will take the contracting risk association with both the civil and building works as well as the process risk.
The benefits to the client of this approach include:
Fewer Interfaces
Clients are not required to manage interface issues during construction between civil, building and process contractors.
Less risk
Clients risk profile, in relation to unforeseen circumstances, significantly improved due to simplified contract structure as the contract risk is taken directly by CRS alone.
Simple project management
Clients project management obligations reduced due to simplified project delivery structure thereby offering overall cost saving to the client.
Direct process warranties
Clients are not required to seek process warranties from a main contractor (usually civil) who may have no experience of this process or the associated risks. There is no attempt to pass process liability through a third party, with the attended issues of “grey areas”.
Better communication
Client has a direct contact with one party and is not required to communicate through a main contractor.
Fastrack projects
CRS have formed both formal and informal partnering arrangements with certain key specialist suppliers and sub-contactors. One of the benefits of such arrangements is a rapid reaction capability at both tender stage and on-site mobilisation stage.
Services
The building of the Heathfield Composting Facility in Devon for the Devon Composting Partnership is a good example of the CRS Turnkey contracting service. Construction of the plant, from the start of the initial ground works to the first input of waste, took only 26 weeks. |
